So ..?
I still use XP on 6 of my home's 9 PC's. Ah, you think, now you know who I am: I'm the guy you met on Archer's seat Edinburgh Tuesday putting the world to right on top of one of Scotland's 400M year-old volcano stumps. It's me alright. I divert, I wander, I meander ...
XP is OK, Dirt cheap on eBay. Still activates, and runs. The scare stories are for those running businesses whose data could theoretically be hacked due to the rather convoluted hack weaknesses of this legacy OS.
And Microsoft Essentials Security/Antivirus scanner still runs with weekly updates, though one has to do a manual (from website) download of the latest pattern-file(s).
Don't worry about it. Nobody Manic Captain Painwaring. It's going to be OK .. for me.
And if you listen to my lifetime of experience and advice ... it maybe will be OK for you too.
What else is there to know?
This is the way.
This is the Dao.
Pass on The Dharma, barmy army.
